The one thing the website does however say is that we will have ONLY 5 TMAs, 4 iCMAs and an exam as marked components. The first observation, although the dates could change, is that this year we can look forward to Christmas and New Year without either TMAs to write or waiting on marks to come back - so somebody has planned this using common sense.
However, I have no idea what a iCMA is ? Interactive computer marked assessment I suppose - so an online test - but is it time limited and what are you supposed to do ? They don't carry as many marks as the TMAs, but if you are a borderline student you can't afford not to take them seriously. The other problem is if you are the type of person who works right up to the deadline, having the TMA and iCMA cut off date on the same date shows somebody has planned this using no common sense :-)
The published dates so far are.....
| TMA 01 7% | 29 Oct | |
| iCMA 41 7% | 10 Dec | |
| TMA 02 15% | 10 Dec | |
| iCMA 42 7% | 11 Feb | |
| TMA 03 20% | 11 Feb | |
| iCMA 43 7% | 18 Mar | |
| TMA 04 15% | 18 Mar | |
| iCMA 44 7% | 6 May | |
| TMA 05 15% | 6 May |

Hey, I just stumbled upon the site, it seems that we are doing the same courses at the same time! The icma is basically an online test with multiple choice, true/false, and blank spaces answers. The great thing about them is that you get scores straight away so no anxious waiting! :)
Hi, thanks for the information, is the icma timed in anyway - if not surely there is no excuse for not getting everything right on the icma. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough, just now I'm more interested about waiting on the DD203 results.
